What are the grants for?Parish Council grants are intended to help local people implement their ideas and for making a difference in the community. The Parish Council
cannot support activities, which are purely religious or political.

How much and how often?Grants are available from £1.00 with a £500 upper limit. This means that you should apply for what you actually need. The Parish Council
has a good idea of real costs and looks at value for money.

Each group will normally only be able to get one approved grant in any one financial year (which runs from 1st April to 31st. March) This is to make sure that the benefits of grants are shared fairly across the community

WE DO NOT GIVE RETROSPECTIVE FUNDING i.e. for projects that have already commenced or taken place.
